it's really hard to say this and not sound horrible...but it just has to be said..
I don't see how someone so talent less can be in the industry.. the art isn't good and the designs are even worse.This person should really study the subject material and approach things in a logical way.I have seen so many tankers on here that could design circles around this person and they are just making toys..it's kinda sad. |

With Rise of Cobra he made crap.
With Retaliation he made a good work.

I think that had the first movie been better the designs may have had more fans.
I took it (them) with a grain of salt due to it being somebody else's idea of what Joe was. That and its sorta vibe of being a "prequel". . . Sure most of us here have an idea of what it means to us and depending on your Joe intake (comics/cartoon), it really colors ones opinions. ROC = flash in the pan cool. RET = more modern realistic awesome. . . |

I dont think artists in the industry have say over what a director wants and doesnt want, though. Its easy to say that he has no talent because you dont like the movie his work was featured in, but anyone of you would have come up with something similar when your boss crumpled up the 80's designs you brought him and commanded that you come back with black superhero suits.
this guy gets all the credit in the world as far as im concerned. No mouth on snake eyes and everything that can look right, looks right. You guys have a problem with the director that wanted to make another movie from the start, lets not be the sort of fanbase that demonizes people through affiliation. retaliations pretty far away from source material, too. We just happen to like those.

Talentless? Man some people are harsh, just becasue something doesn't fit our view of what it should look like does not mean the person has no talent, they've done work on these plus lil stuff like Thor, Thor 2, Hunger Games, Arrow, IM2 & 3, Cap, yeah talentless...

honestly I think a LOT more goes to the artist than the director...
a concept artist created Darth Vader for god's sake...thee Darth Vader..Lucas just gave the dude an idea to run with. if this is the same guy that did any of those other movies it is unrecognizable here..I have seen those other concept panels and loved them..that would have to mean Joe was something he was just dicking around with and had no time or care for.Which I find sad.My point was that I have seen so many Tankers with immense talent yet people like this are who we get to decide the fate. |

Hard to tell if this guy did the initial designs or just sketches based on the finalized drawings. The concept art shown earlier this year was more exciting

and some of those other odd ball ones that never made it to screen like the cobra ninjas in military gear and such. but I bet that RoC CC is the 1st glimpse of poo that was ever sketched and it did make it into film uugh...I even kinda liked the CC at the very beginning of RET that was just artwork? I guess he had the not cool helmet but did have the new leather armored coat..it just goes to show they really got nothing right in RoC. RET was a decent movie with decent designs though. |
